I'm new to OpenCL, and I'm trying to figure out a good laptop that is supported with the OpenCL SDK. I've found no laptops from the System Supported List. Specifically, I was trying to figure out if the following Acer system works for OpenCL development. I plan to replace the Windows 8 with a compatible Linux version, but it's not clear if the Processor & Graphics chip will support the OpenCL dev.

when you run examples from SDK they will run on GPU by default. in SDK there is clinfo program which print out information about OpenCL devices. you can use it to check if is GPU correctly recgnized as GPU device.
